Stavropoleos Monastery (Romanian: Mănăstirea Stavropoleos), also known as Stavropoleos Church (Romanian: Biserica Stavropoleos) during the last century when the monastery was dissolved, is an Eastern Orthodox monastery for nuns in central Bucharest, Romania. Its church is built in Brâncovenesc style. The patrons of the church (the saints to whom the church is dedicated) are St. Archangels Michael and Gabriel. The name Stavropoleos is a Romanian rendition of a Greek word, Stauropolis, meaning "The city of the Cross". One of the monastery's constant interests is Byzantine music, expressed through its choir and the largest collection of Byzantine music books in Romania.

Beautiful ortodoxian church. Do not be too touristy when coming inside because people there are quite religious and don't like foreigners to take too many photos. Be respectful.

A beautiful small church, with a small courtyard with oriental influences in its architecture and decorations. It is worth at least a couple of photos.

Beautiful, quiet holly place in the heart of the Bucharest old town. Entering the garden feels like you teleport to another dimension.
